A Limit To Patience
[Per Press Association Copyright.'] CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The question of how long a motorist should wait to allow traffic on his right to proceed at an intersection was raised in the Magistrate’s Court today. This problem occurred every Saturday afternoon at the conclusion of sports fixtures, said Mr E, C Lovvey, S.M. Raymond W. Wilson was the motorist charged, and his excuse, according to Chief Traffic Inspector Bruorton, was that he thought, the High Street traffic “had a fair go.” “After all, a motorist cannot be expected to wait indefinitely while the other chaps go on.” commented the magistrate, who added that he would dismiss the charge on payment of costs.
